I'll try and give mini recaps and stuff as the games go on. Might get behind, but we'll see how it goes.

San Diego Supa Chargers (6-3) Over Uganda Silverbacks (1-8) 6-3 http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=1570093

Recap

In the OPL forums, the quote was "Only a DC could love a game like that." When the punters are the two Top performers, you know highlights are low.

San Diego struck first with a 16 play drive that included 3 3rd down conversions including the last one from Ryan Razorback Mallett to Sanders Seleni for 15 yards http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570093&pbp_id=7601393 that set them up for their first FG.

The Silverbacks defense did tighten and kept them out of the end zone with this stuff by Ronald Koeman http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570093&pbp_id=7601514

After a few back and forths, Mallett delivers on 3rd down again, this time to Greg "Razorback" Childs for 27 yards to set up their 2nd FG http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570093&pbp_id=7602706

Uganda answered just before half time thanks in part to this 4th down run by The Todd, M.D. for 19.5 yards http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570093&pbp_id=7603309 That set up a field goal to cut the deficit to 3 at half time.

GM's Play of the Game-With Uganda driving to tie the game up or take the lead, Lawrence Timmons hammers The Todd, forcing the fumble inside their own 30 http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570093&pbp_id=7604716

The 2nd half becomes the half of missed chances for Uganda as the 55-yard FG attempt sails wide right http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570093&pbp_id=7605257

Sanders Seleni puts the game away with a 10-yard rush on 3rd and 7.5 http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570093&pbp_id=7605870

Player of the game-San Diego LB Lawrence Timmons #83

In a game where big plays were few and far between, Timmons came up with the biggest one forcing a fumble

Philly Franklins (8-1) over 6th Street Savage Swarm (6-3) 45-24 http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=1570119

Recap

Philly strikes first after a nice first drive with a bunch of big plays including recovering their own fumble on the opening kickoff. But this 34 yard run by FB Viva La Revolucion http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570119&pbp_id=7842473 really punished a strong side defense and set up the TD one play later

4th and inches, in 6SSS territory and Buck Matthews makes a huge stuff to get the ball back http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570119&pbp_id=7843776

Bo "Da Raider" Jackson rips off a pretty 38.5 yard run that sets up the equalizer late in the 1st quarter http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570119&pbp_id=7843942

GM's Play of the Game-With 6th St. driving to probably take the lead, Eric Wright comes up with the huge pick and takes it back all the way to the house 74 yards http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570119&pbp_id=7844515

Great WR blocking and You missed me goes 45 yards to take the 2 TD lead http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570119&pbp_id=7844842

A massive pump fake from Super Star Arm turns into a 66 yard TD pass to BHGLM Decoy to start the 2nd half giving 6th Street some hope http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570119&pbp_id=7845846

Latarrius Thomas comes through with a clutch stuff on 3rd and short to keep the Philly lead at 11 and slow the momentum http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570119&pbp_id=7846209

Jay Zimmer to You Missed me! puts the game away with a 75.5 yard TD pass http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570119&pbp_id=7846616

Player of the game-Philly HB You Missed Me!

Only got 8 touches today, but made the most of them. 194 total yards and 3 touchdowns. The guy was just too fast and too faky for 6th street today.

Nairobi Warthogs (5-4) over Gold Coast Vipers (5-4) 52-19 http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=1570118

Recap

A look at the final score doesn't really show how tough this game was for both teams. Plenty of turnovers, Gold Coast dominated the clock offensively, but big plays for Nairobi carried the day. Gold Coast had an absurd 106 offensive plays vs. only 42 for Nairobi, but lost big anyways.

Nairobi draws first blood as S.Sammy Baugh (apparently he has a studder?) connects to Badger Chambers for the 83 yard TD http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570118&pbp_id=7922199

Then, with the Vipers threatening to tie the game up, Natrone Buhlwear picks off the Sgt. Rock pass http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570118&pbp_id=7922864

Whoever plays Nairobi in the first round of the playoffs, watch out for this guy. Right after the INT, Usane rips off a 76 yard run despite GCV being well prepared for the play http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570118&pbp_id=7923160

But Gold Coast won't go away that easily, after a field goal, Clark Griswold probably threatened to make the Warthog's KR watch a 24-hour marathon of National Lampoon's movies if he didn't give him the ball. He obliges http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570118&pbp_id=7923571

GM's Play of the game After a couple solid Viper drives give them the lead, Nairobi survived their 2nd and 3rd turnovers of the game, then Sammy Ball with a pretty ball to Bob Hayes for the 63-yard TD http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570118&pbp_id=7925760

With a 4 point lead, Nairobi elects to go for 6 on 4th and 1 at the goal line. If GCV gets the stuff here, they get the momentum back and probably come back. But Warthogs punch it in, and never look back http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570118&pbp_id=7926231

Dot of the game-Gold Coast RB Bo Jackson #34

Bo didn't make the highlight reel, but he consistently kept GCV drives alive, and scored their only TD. 31 touches for 215.5 yards and a TD is the final tally.

Angola Blood Diamonds (7-2) over Indianola Longhorn Legends (4-5) 38-31 http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=1570179

Recap

Similar to the GCV/Nairobi game, one team dominated the clock, while the other had some big plays. The difference is that ABD wins this one despite failing to tag their rQB. If ILL would have run him more, it could have been a big oops. But instead, we get a pretty impressive Blood Diamond offensive game.

ABD driving early, and Anorexia Reese comes up with a huge fumble http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570179&pbp_id=7902889

GM's Play of the Game-Indianola strikes first as Swoop turns a TFL inside his own 5 into a 92-yard run setting up the TD http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570179&pbp_id=7903182

I always wondered if a fake QB was a feasible build strategy. Sonic turns the big run from the missed tag into a 67 yard TD http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570179&pbp_id=7904106

At this point, ILL's OC was probably going, come on auto adjust, keep calling Sonic! http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570179&pbp_id=7905026

Total Package to Tunnel Rat gets ABD within 7 before the half http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570179&pbp_id=7906000

Harold "Red" Grange with a big pick to give ABD 3 more points before the half http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570179&pbp_id=7906235

ABD keeps the pressure on as Dredin Darrowmourne lays the wood on the 2nd half opening kickoff setting up another ABD score http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570179&pbp_id=7906944

Swoop answers with an 80 yard catch and run to set up the go ahead TD http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570179&pbp_id=7907407

After another nice drive, Tunnel Rat gets his 2nd TD of the day to give ABD back the lead http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570179&pbp_id=7908089

Duke makes up for the early fumble with a huge, 51.5 yard run to get ABD out of the shadow of their own end zone and set up another TD, the one that would put the game out of reach in the 4th quarter http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570179&pbp_id=7908366

Dot of the game-DE Tavish TNT Tatum

5 sacks and a forced fumble is a good day at the office for a DE these days

Eastern European Alliance (8-1) over Carthaginian War Elephants (7-2) 24-19 http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=1570102

Recap

CWE knows what it is. They run the ball and try to force you to cough it up. CWE forced 5 fumbles, but only recovered 2, and that just wasn't enough. EEA kept CWE to field goals early, which allowed for their methodical offense to comeback and win in the 4th.

Kent Awesome rips off a huge 79-yard, but being run down inside the 5 would lead to just a FG http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570102&pbp_id=8142915

Flutie Sully rips off 2 back to back big runs to set up CWE's only TD and take the early 10-0 lead http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570102&pbp_id=8143187

The effort by Chicken George Moore keeps the drive alive for EEA and they would eventually punch in a TD http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570102&pbp_id=8143433

GM's Play of the Game-Chicken George Moore with the nifty little 24-yard scamper to give EEA their first lead of the game http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570102&pbp_id=8144098

Big sack pushes CWE out of FG range http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570102&pbp_id=8144637

Good play call against that D as CGM gets EEA back in FG range to take the lead back again http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570102&pbp_id=8144751

Sometimes it's the little plays that make the big difference. 1.5 yards on 3rd and 1 keeps this drive alive, and a TD at the end of it puts the game away http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1570102&pbp_id=8145045

Dot of the game-EEA HB Chicken George Moore

28 carries for 241.5 yards and a TD as well as a clutch fumble recovery. 6 plays of more than 20 yards. Huge day.

Love these

Canton gets an extended version of this after every game... well at least the closer ones.

Something to remember if we ever send a contract offer
